Very true, but for some reason when my children are in trouble and sent to their rooms for punishment they just sit there and don't touch anything. I guess they know that they are in trouble and they are trying to refocus themselves...?.....rethinking.....That aplies mainly to my son, daughter gets sent to her room and slams the door, starts throwing things and screaming at the top of her lungs about how mean i am....and no she's not a teenager, she's two!!

I lower the octave of my voice and say what I have to say quietly in a drill sargent type tone and they immediately behave.
Most times the LOOK OF DEATH works and I don't need to say a thing.
They all know that if I have to enforce the command given with the LOOK, they are in BIG trouble. I-pods, guitars, flutes, swords, bows or what ever the possesion du-jour is will become mine and I don't hesitate to get out the board of correction.
The dogs are better than the Gremlin though. I rarely have to put the dogs in a down stay in the time-out corner. They know what the time out corner means and they know they will be ignored totally if they are bad.
What I find hilarious is that when Birdie has done something bad and she knows I am mad, she goes and lays down in the time-out corner and tries to look sorry .
